COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) of this section is renumbered as
subsection (a)(1)(iv), to allow the addition of new subsection (a)(1)(i)
through (iii) to cover additional instances in which a parent's consent is not
required.
Defined terms: "Child" § 5-301
"Juvenile court" § 1-101
"Local department" § 1-101
"Parent" § 5-301
"Person" § 1-101
"State" § 1-101
5-341.
(c) ADOPTION OF AN ADULT HAS THE SAME LEGAL EFFECT AS ADOPTION OF
A MINOR
(D) (1) When a juvenile court enters an order for a child's adoption under
this Part III of this subtitle, the juvenile court shall send notice to:
(i) each juvenile court that has a pending CINA case as to the
adoptee;
(ii) each of the child's living, former parents who has not waived the
right to notice [and that];
(III) EACH LIVING parent's last attorney of record in the CINA case;
and
[(iii)] (IV) the child's last attorney of record in the CINA case.
(2) Service on a parent under this subsection shall be at the parent's last
address known to the juvenile court.
COMMITTEE NOTE: Subsection (c) of this section is renumbered as subsection
(d), to allow addition of new subsection (c), which is derived without
substantive change from former FL § 5-308(c).
Renumbered subsection (d) of this section is amended to provide for notice
to a parent's CINA attorney, rather than a former parent's, to make the due
process provisions in Part II and Part III parallel. The Committee intended
for a CINA attorney to receive notice of adoption, as this notice also will
alert the last attorney of record that the CINA case is completed as a result
of the adoption.
As to "adult" and "minor", see Art. 1, § 24 of the Code.
Defined terms: "Child" § 5-301
"CINA case" § 1-101
"Juvenile court" § 1-101
"Parent" § 5-301
